"Crusades" tells the compelling, often horrific, story of the fanatics
and fantasists, knights and peasants who were caught up in these fervent
times. It reveals how Muslims, Jews and Christians were massacred, and
how the Crusades sowed the seeds of 'jihad', the holy war for Islam, a
legacy that endures today.

im sure the crusades had nothing to do with the muslim invasion of christian lands...egypt,syria,jerusalem,lands that were predominantly christian lands at the time,for the attitude of the the "whites" of europe to just want to attack and kill is bullshit

@MB-UK first off,saying "neo con" is the stupidest thing ever,and the muslims wernt allowing christians near the birth place of christ,or having access to the city,so you and i shouldn't be surprised that the 10th century warlords of europe would jump at the chance to defending what to them was holy christian land

Recall the first victims of the crusades , were Jews and Orthodox Christians . Once they took the holy land , they killed as heretics , Coptic Christians , Ethopian Christians , and more Orthodox .

I don't know where you got that idea that muslims were not allowing other faiths in their lands before the crusades as there are numerous examples of just all the opposite having happened. The only thing they banned was for non-muslims to have any sort of political or legislative power. That damn idiotic territoriality that has survived up to nowadays appeared precisely and "coincidentally" with their expulsion from Europe and the subsequent crusades. European catholic chrMore..istians were the pioneers and have been the unbeaten champions of religious segregation, not only against muslims but also against any other encountered faith in the world: non-believers were to be converted, by force if necessary, and murdered if that was unsuccessful. There are more than plenty of examples of that.Less..
